About

Tipsy is a Linux compatibility runtime and Qt 6 desktop application for a user-provided official Roblox Android x86-64 client. Official builds require an x86-64-v3 CPU (AVX2). The package installs two launchers: Tipsy - Play starts the official client directly, and Tipsy - Settings opens the setup and configuration window. Play also handles roblox: and roblox-player: website launch URIs. Roblox is not included. Tipsy does not collect Roblox credentials.

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • io.github.tipsy_linux.Tipsy claims the io.github.tipsy_linux namespace but is hosted by github.com/32bitx64bit and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    tipsy:build-options:--share=network
